Press Release Summary: AMERICAN TRAPPED IN NEPALESE CIVIL WAR

Press Release Body: (SEATTLE, WA)-During the Nepalese civil war, tension between theMaoists and the government were at an all-time high, and so the military imposed acurfew for the country-with severe penalties for anyone who disobeyed.

Gary Garner, an American vagabond for the twenty-first century and author of the newbook Through the Eyes of Madness, came head-to-head with an angry Nepalese mob thenight before he was supposed to be en route to Mount Everest.

While searching the streets of Nepal after curfew for a shopkeeper who he believedto be in possession of his passport, Mr. Garner was surrounded by countless angrymen who thought he had come to rob the shopkeeper. The entire mob scene and itsnail-biting conclusion is one of many stories punctuated with humor and suspense inMr. Garner's new book.

Five years ago, Mr. Garner left his multimillion dollar business to adventure aroundthe world. Now homeless and jobless, he is living the life of a vagabond as hetravels from country to country. During his exploration he has experienced:

Witnessing a brutal murder on the South China Sea His own near-death at the heights of Mt. Everest Being ambushed and robbed in Costa Rica by very unusual suspects Countless other harrowing escapes that have illustrated valuable and moving lifelessons.

Each chapter of Through the Eyes of Madness richly details the real life-and-deathadventures Mr. Garner experienced throughout his journey, many of which wereseemingly un-survivable.

"My book also has an intriguing twist: I have a mysterious surprise waiting foranyone who can decipher the encrypted codes in my journal, which point to physicalclues planted around the world," says Mr. Garner.

From beginning to end, the book is laced with a visual and mathematical secretcode-but unlike its fictional cousins, this book's secret is very real.

"These past few years have been so fantastical and life-altering that even I havetrouble believing it," admits Mr. Garner. "But that's why I kept the journals andconstructed the book in the way that I did. Now, others can share in the adventure."
